[Bioterrorism] Threat level: Unknown | Columbus Ledger-Enquirer: the United States is unfortunately still underprepared to confront a biological threat... Our panel determined that the United States remains vulnerable to such threats because we lack strong centralized leadership at the highest level of government. No single individual is given the charge and authority to corral the dozen responsible departments and agencies into a cohesive and effective whole... The nation needs a top-level leader who recognizes the severity of the biological threat and possesses the authority and political will to defend against it. We recommend that this leader be the vice president... The vice president should establish a White House Biodefense Coordination Council, unify the biodefense budget, and develop a national strategy for biodefense.

M.N.: Then we will call V.P. a Bio-Anti-Terrorist-in-chief. He will wear a white coat and this mask. Not worse than any other mask:

Isis was the Egyptian goddess of motherhood, fertility, marital devotion, healing the sick, and the working of magical spells and charms. Isis is one of the earliest and most important goddesses in ancient Egypt, and she was regarded as the feminine counterpart to Osiris.

Isis, Egyptian Goddess of Magic and Giver of Life Isis, the Egyptian goddess of rebirth remains one of the most familiar images of empowered and utter femininity. The goddess Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky. Isis was born on the first day between the first years of creation, and was adored by her human followers.

Fiorina Slaps Down The View: Nothing More Threatening to Liberals Than a Conservative Woman - Washington Free Beacon: The View, a left-leaning daytime talk show consisting of all women, trashed Fiorina as looking “demented” during Wednesday’s GOP debate, with co-host Joy Behar likening her face to a “Halloween mask.”... “Frankly, I am tired of being insulted by liberal feminists who talk about women’s issues when the reality is every issue is a woman’s issue. From the economy to ISIS to Russia to health care to education to the national debt, women care about all of that. So I am really sorry that I don’t agree with the women of The View. Nevertheless, I’m going to continue to stand up, stand strong, talk about what I believe in, and I am Hillary Clinton’s worst [best] nightmare as a result.”

Investigate the "investigators"! FBI as "a high church for the true mediocre"

"At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre." Norman Mailer | "Investigate the "investigators"! I would think that no less than 50% of the problems this country is facing is due to the FBI's inadequacy. This is a very important issue and the time has come to address it." - by Michael Novakhov
